Big announcements are saved for BlizzCon proper -- eg if the expansion wasn't announced, there'd be a vague-sounding "World of Warcraft" panel but the name would be saved for BlizzCon proper. If they plan to give details about beta keys or other beta information, they'll save it for the panel.

"Even More Details" is a bit of an understatement as Blizzard has been incredibly tight-lipped about anything Legion-related since Gamescom.I understand that they don't want to reveal too much and create unrealistic expectations, but it wouldn't have hurt to, say, reveal an additional artifact weapon, art asset, 3D model of a creature, fun fact about a new zone, anything really every week or so.

I like how Hearthstone has been doing it recently--revealing cards in fun ways on streams, the data dump comes after all the cards are known. Can't totally be applied to WoW, but I like how a popular streamer can explain why a new card sounds interesting as a first impression, vs data that may be taken out of context or inaccurate. I like the pacing that way better, less feeling overwhelmed by an info dump.

I have to say I HATED it at first, that they announced things early, but the closer we get to blizzcon the more excited I'm getting. Unfortunately I will out of town that weekend without much access to internet :(\r\rEveryone keeps asking about Beta but the speculation so far is that it will be announced at Blizzcon, I don't think they are as far along as people think. I have been saying the EARLIEST the expansion would come out would be 6 months from Blizzcon. I still feel that way based on the information presented. I think they rushed WOD a bit too much and I think it showed. They don't want to make those same mistakes or releasing the expansion and then making people wait for first patch, that should have been included at release.

Dig deeper into Legion professions. That's what I'm looking forward to most. Not going, or buying the virtual ticket, but will be paying particular attention to wowhead and twitter.

The friday and saturday links are 404 for me

Edit: Now they work or maybe there is an error if you try to access them from the front page without opening the news?

The friday and saturday links are 404 for me\r\rSame here, trying to access them on my smartphone. Either it is incompatible, or Blizz removed their schedules.\r\rI'd guess the latter, since I can't find any evidence of schedules on the BlizzCon site.

They want to put sc2 back in the big leagues... then host a ''future of sc2'' panel at the same time they're discussing legion.\r\rpokerface.jpg

I've removed the links - they worked this morning for me though. I'm still able to browse the schedule on my phone from the BlizzCon app though.

Nothing new to say really...

It's already done, except perhaps for some more post-production, they finished the actual filming over a year ago. It's scheduled for release June 10, 2016. It was originally being released in December of this year but was pushed back because of Star Wars.
